NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT Reference Preview

Today Guru of 3D is peeking at the all new NVIDIA 6800 GT. They are comparing it towards cards like Radeon x800 Pro, x800 XT, GeForce 6800 Ultra and of course previous generation graphics cards. The GT is the same product as the 6800 Ultra, yet clocked 50 Mhz slower and has slightly less memory bandwidth. That’s the biggest difference .. oh and hey … 100 bucks cheaper !

Next to that, the GeForce 6800 offers a huge performance bump over the previous generations of graphics silicon. At the heart of the beast we find 222 Million transistors running at 350 MHz and yet the card manages to produce numbers that will force you to make noises like guuuaaahh. The combination of the new 61.34 drivers also really helped here. It’s quite clear that NVIDIA still can tweak some more ‘juice’ out of the 6800 series and that makes sense.
